Just a comment - eekbay often has bulks of used HDD for sale, and they can
be had at a good price every now and then. I purchased 5x250GB Seagate a
while ago, they were said to be tested and guaranteed not DOA. All proved
to be true. Next time I need more HDD I am definitely purchasing them that
way again.
